Why would Ambassador Stevens be in the tiny Islamist craphole of Bengazi on September 11th of all days?

Why would the administration literally throw the Ambassador, his IT/Video/Communications specialist Sean Smith, and two CIA officers under the Bengazi bus?

Now a tape has resurfaced in which General Petraeus's lover Paula Broadwell claims that the CIA was holding prisoners at their Bengazi annex.

Here is quote from a totally unconnected story in the Daily Mail about missing soldier Bowe Bergadhl

Bergdahl is the subject of a proposed prisoner swap in which he would be traded for five Taliban adherents imprisoned by the United States at the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The Taliban have walked away from the deal and larger negotiations with the United States, but the Obama administration is still pushing a negotiated settlement between the Taliban and the U.S.-backed government in Afghanistan.

Now I hear that having been burned by buying into the administration's initial Internet movie story, General Petraeus went to Bengazi to do interviews himself. Apparently he no longer believed new improved prisoners story the administration was laying on him. Were the "prisoners" Libyan?

And now (Just by coincidence I am sure) days before he is to testify in Congress his moral flaws are exposed.

As usual (When the subject is not a Party Member) everyone is shocked that pretty women and strong successful leader types perchance to hook up.

(Everyone who works for Obama is compromised it seems, but that is a theme for another rant. )

We shall see if the General values honor more then his marriage vows and shows up to speak.

I thought the same of Benghazi until I looked it up on a map. Read a bit of its history and while it is not NewYork-NewYork, I would not call it a craphole. It is located on quite a nice harbor... lots of access to it from the Mediterranean.....

How could Petraeus’ TELLING ALL be any worse than the media’s portrayal of him already is for him right now? It CAN’T. Unless of course he is criminally negligent for Benghazi, which I’d have a hard time believing that.

I apologize if I may have inappropriately disparaged the quality of life in Bengazi.

You don't have to apologize. See now I can't figure out what else was in Benghazi that would be more important to Obama than Americans. So I have been seeking what information is available to figure out what there is in or about Benghazi Obama did not want destroyed. So I checked out its location and the tourists attractions that might answer that question. Got to keep things in perspective in how liberals value things over human life.

I was surprised I might add to discover Benghazi was more than a sand trap and a tent community. All that Libyan oil is bound to create quite a cash flow to whom ever gets the proper clearance to drill and sell.

The body of retired Army General and former CIA head, David Petraeus, was found yesterday in Washingtons C & O canal after it was snagged by a 13 year old boy when he snagged it while fishing.

Petraeus, who had been granted congressional immunity for his testimony on the circumstances surrounding the murder of the 4 Americans at the Benghazi consulate earlier this year, failed to appear at the December 6th hearing.

It was reliably reported that he told key House Intelligence Committee staffers that he was ready to come clean and do the right thing.

Due to the high profile nature of this case, Attorney General Eric Holder has put the FBI in charge of the investigation. The body, found with an estimated 300 pounds of steel weights tied to it with steel cables and over 6 bullet wounds, was sent to the FBI Forensics Lab for examination.

While an expedited full autopsy report is expected in 2 to 3 days, a high level FBI spokesman declared at a press conference that This looks like a clear case of suicide to us.

(Obama for president -- of KENYA!)

“Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Thursday criticized Turkey for supporting the insurgents fighting the government in Damascus and sees that his neighbor has the ambitious dream of establishing “a new Ottoman Empire.” “

I am very much of the belief that the Obama regime was involved with arming the Syrian "rebels," who just happen to be aligned with Al Queda, using arms from the former Libyan military. My guess is that it all went to hell and that was what caused it.

Sort of like F&F all over again. But instead of arming the drug cartels, the Obama regime is arming Al Queda on September 11 no less!

None of that means a damn thing. The only thing that seems to matter is that, " He give us a phone! We all got abamaphone! an he gonna do more!"
